About

Senior Backend & Product Engineer | High-Scale Distributed Systems & Payment Orchestration I specialize in architecting and scaling fault-tolerant backend systems for hyper-growth fintech environments. Currently, as a Senior Payments Engineer at Tamara, I lead the development of centralized payment orchestration layers managing multiple PSP integrations. Engineering for Impact & Scale: High-Volume Fintech: Architected payment orchestrators handling massive transactional throughput, directly improving checkout authorization rates through smart routing and automated retry/recovery mechanisms. System Optimization: Deep expertise in identifying performance bottlenecks. Previously engineered strategic caching layers that slashed database queries by 82% and system latency by 64%. Cloud-Native & Event-Driven: Proven track record of designing robust, SLA-compliant microservices and delayed event processing pipelines (handling 100K+ daily events) deployed across AWS and GCP. Core Stack: Golang, Java (Spring Boot), Distributed Systems (Kafka), Cloud (AWS/GCP), AI/ML integration, and PCI-Compliant Infrastructure. I thrive in ambiguous, high-velocity environments where I can bridge complex system design with tangible business outcomes.
